Coro de Niños

KCC announces that Coro de Niños Choir Director, Megan Raedy, has accepted a new teaching position in Florida. We are excited for Megan but sorry to say goodbye. KCC is actively looking for a new bilingual choir director for Coro de Niños. Qualified candidates should sent their resume to Artistic Director, Fred Sang at fred@kalamazoochildrenschorus.org.

Coro de Niños is open to kids in 3rd to 5th grades who speak Spanish, want to improve their Spanish, or learn Spanish. Choir members explore other cultures by learning music from a variety of Spanish-speaking countries such as Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Spain and Mexico. This choir was featured in New/Nueave Opinion in June.
